Blackberry & Raspberry Muffins

Yesterday some friends were coming over at my house so i was thinking of  making something special .I had two boxes of raspberry and blackberry lying in my refrigerator so decided  to bake some muffins.It was my first attempt but believe me ,they came out so well that they (my friends) were thinking that these are store brought.I also added less egg as i don't like the prominent  taste of  eggs which use to come from store brought muffins.


Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
 1 egg
1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups all purpose  flour, divided
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1 cup blackberries and raspberries mixed




Method-


1-In a large bowl cream butter with sugar and egg.

2-Reserve 2 tbsp flour and combine remaining with baking soda,salt and baking powder add milk and vanilla and mix.

3-Preheat the oven at 400 degree f.

4-Now add the milk and flour mixture into creamy butter and sugar mixute,mix it well.

5-Sprinkle remaining flour (2 tbsp) on berries and mix them lightly.

6-Fold berries into muffin mixture gently.

7-Grease muffin pan or use liners .(i used liners)

8-Fill each muffin cup 3/4 and sprikle some nuts (cashew nut,almond,raisins,pistachio etc)  as garnish (i used raisins).
